This piece is from Tatsumura Textile Company, established in Nishijin in 1894 by Tatsumura Sobei. The full name is Shikami-mon Chohan-kin (Warp Brocade of Multi-colored Stripes with Lion-mask Pattern). A front view of a “lion-mask” is patterned on a ground of Chohan (vertical stripes using multi-colors) which has been common since the Nara period of Japan (8th Century), and his antecedents during the Chinese Han Dynasty (1st Century BC). This design depicts lions with open, roaring mouths lined up horizontally on the vertical stripes colored in red, green, light blue, and purple. While quite stylized, the pattern preserves the ancient Chinese motif of the t’ao t’ieh (ogre mask) which originated even before the 1st Millennium BC.
